Tell me I’m not the only one scratching my head over this one. I’m pretty much left speechless. But Junior Vasquez remixed The Raveonettes? This might be the most unlikely pairing since… I don’t know. iTunes is offering Junior Vasquez’s remix of “My Boyfriend’s Back” as part of a four track ep. Also includes remixes [...]

Recently, I had the opportunity to talk shop with bigstereo favorite Princess Superstar. It was all very serious… very Barbara Walters. I think she even cried at one point. Superstar dished the dirt on The Diskokaines, her new album and… Travis: Over the past few years there has been a mini-explosion of “non-traditional” female rap [...]

The video for Goldfrapp’s “Ooh La La” premiered early Saturday morning on Channel 4. “Ooh La La” is directed by Dawn Shadforth, who previously did the video for Goldfrapp’s “Train.” The video features a slightly different mix than the radio single. You can watch the full video here: “Ooh La La” WMV via Goldfrapp.free.fr Update: [...]

WTF happened to C.O.C.O?. Why haven’t they released anything? Why can’t I find anything about what happened? Why did they disappear? I guess I will just dance to the C.O.C.O. sound, just recently rediscovered it. If you like funk, punk, hip hop, and soul give em a chance. They are another of those dynamic basic [...]

Sleater-Kinney performed “Jumpers” on Letterman last night. In case you missed it: torrent here. The Woods is easily on my 2005 top ten list… and it’s not too early to say that. You can buy it directly from Sub Pop. S-K previously on bigstereo.

A while back bigstereo reported that Tori Amos covered Kylie Minogue’s “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head.” Well add Coldplay to the list of bands that have covered Kylie. Last night (25 June 2005), due to Kylie having to cancel her performance at Glastonbury, Coldplay covered “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head”… listen [...]

In case you missed it the first time, I now have the M.I.A. video up to stream… M.I.A.’s “Bucky Done Gun” live in Boston; 9 June 2005 (Quicktime)

My week has been hell.. but on the bright side I’m sitting in front of a brand new iMac G5 and couldn’t be happier about that… nerd, nerd, nerd! Been kind of quiet the past couple days but working on some good stuff for you kids. In the mean time: 1) On The Download has [...]

Last week I posted about a mysterious new Princess Superstar song that I knew nothing about. Luckily, I received this comment from Ludovic: “LICK THE ALPHABET” is from “The DISKOKAINES”! “The Diskokaines” is a new project of Wolfram aka marfloW (he is doing electro-nix) from Vienna (music) and Concetta aka Princess Superstar (vocals)…. Good news [...]

The Chalets. I honestly don’t know much about this band… not much at all. Except they’re out of Ireland, they’re better than U2 and they have a great pop sound. Like the Go-Gos, The Chalets formed before ever picking up instruments. Their songs are built around loud guitars and a juxtaposition of male and female [...]

Enough cock teasing. You can listen to the entire new Goldfrapp song “Ooh La La” here. Click on ‘Monday’s show’ and fast forward to the 39 minute mark. Or better yet… Goldfrapp “Ooh La La” (radio rip). It’s somewhere between Iggy Pop and Add N to (X). A fine, sexy noir-glam dance number that is [...]

Listening to Cazwell brings me back to my days in New York City and all those nights I wasted dancing my ass off at Club Luxx (r.i.p.). The most obvious and easiest comparison to make is to say that Cazwell is like Eminem. I mean… how many gay white male rappers are there? Two. Right? [...]

Some videos worth checking out. The Kills “Love is a Deserter” (Quicktime) Four Tet “Smile Around The Face” (Quicktime) My Robot Friend “Power of Love” (Quicktime) Röyksopp “The Understanding” (Quicktime) via ArjanWrites Basement Jaxx “Do You Know” (Quicktime)

With the sad, sad news of girl quartet trio Destiny’s Child breaking up, I bring you my favorite Village Voice column ever. It’s a classic… all the way back to those innocent pre-911 times. The diva giveth, and the diva taketh away: Survivor, perhaps because it’s so indisputably BK’s show, finds her showering gifts upon [...]

Le Tigre has a new video for “After Dark.” It is directed by Wynne Greenwood of Tracy + The Plastics. Watch the full video: Real | Windows Media Remixes are floating around by Diplo, Richard Morel and A Touch of Class. Look for them this summer touring with Beck.

What is better than seeing Maya last night? NEW FUCKING PRINCESS SUPERSTAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Electro-nix has this mp3. I know nothing else about that. See Update: this is a track by The Diskokaines. Except this song is hot. It reminds me of Blondie. 2005 is going to be Princess Superstar’s year. The long awaited My Machine has [...]

M.I.A. and LCD Soundsystem Avalon, Boston, Ma. June 9th, 2005 I was lucky enough to catch a couple words with M.I.A. before the show. I’m a huge dork, but she’s pretty. Maya said Missy Elliott was at her last show, and that Missy was carrying around a dog in a bag. I said it would [...]

Sometimes I put iTunes on random and come across songs that I had totally forgotten about. Emiliana Torrini’s cover of The Velvet Underground’s “Stephanie Says” is one of those gems. Back in 1996, before the International success of Love In The Time Of Science, Torrini released an album in her home country of Iceland called [...]

New look, new sound, new song, new website, new label. Seems like a whole new Ladytron. Watch their new video: Sugar (real) (if that link doesn’t work try going here and click on “vip” section) “Sugar” will be released on June 20th with remixes by Playgroup, Jagz Kooner and Archigam. This is the first single [...]

Bigstereo brought you a Denver Dalley exclusive a few weeks ago.. with a sneak peak of his new side project Intramural. But there’s more… Statistics are releasing their sophmore album “Often Lie” on Jade Tree this July 12th. And if you pre-order the album you will be entered in a contest to win an iPod [...]
